1. The nueron synthasizes chemicals that serve as neurotransmitters. Smaller NT's in axon terminals, larger ones (Peptides) in cell body. Synthasizes chemicals it needs from substances provided by diet.

2. The nueron transports the peptide neurotransmiters to axon terminals.

3. Action potentials travel down the axon. At the presynaptic terminal, an action potential enables calcium to enter cell. Calcium relases neurotransmiters from the terminals into synaptic cleft, which is the space between the presynaptic and post synaptic nuerons.

4. The relased molecules diffuse across the cleft attach to receptors and alter activity of post synaptic neuron.

5. The neurotranmitter molecules separate from their receptors. Depending on the neurotransmitter, it may be converted into inactive chemicals.

6. The NT molecules may be taken back into the presynaptic neuron for recycling or may diffuse away. In some cases, empty vesicles are returned to celll body.

What is the correct sequence of events in forming a protein?

The correct sequence of events in forming a protein is transcription, where the DNA is transcribed into mRNA, followed by translation, where the mRNA is decoded to build a specific sequence of amino acids, and finally, post-translational modifications that help the protein fold into its correct shape and function properly.

What are the sequence of events in a chemical reaction?

In a chemical reaction, reactants are transformed into products through the breaking and formation of chemical bonds. The sequence of events typically involves collision of reactant molecules, formation of activated complex, rearrangement of atoms to form new bonds, and ultimately the formation of products. This process follows the principles of conservation of mass and energy.

When events are arranged in time sequence from first to last they are said to be in order.?

That is correct. When events are arranged chronologically from beginning to end, they are said to be in order. This helps to create a clear timeline and understanding of how events unfolded.
